Provides a plane that displays shadows from a given lightsource and set of GLScene objects.

The shadowplane requires a lightsource and the object you wish to shadow. To shadow more than one object make the objects children of a dummycube and make that the object to shadow.

Important TGLShadowPlane properties include:

shadowlightsource: TGLLightSource

The lightsource that is producing the shadows. If this isn't set then no shadows are visible

shadowobject: TGLBaseSceneObject

The object you wish to shadow. Use a dummycube to shadow more than one object.

shadowcolor: TGLColor

The color of the shadow when displayed on the shadowplane. Set the alpha value to less than 1 so that the texture on the shadowplane is blended with the shadow otherwise the shadow will be 100% shadow color. If its not black seems to override the color of the lightsource.

shadowoptions: TShadowPlaneOptions

Rendering options such as stenciling which specifies if shadows are blending with the shadowplane texture.
